Florian Wiesner updated XERCESC-2256:
-------------------------------------
Description:
the current enumeration uses T_CHAR, T_STRING, etc. as enumeration values.
Those symbol names are generic enough to cause clashes with other libraries -
where T_CHAR, T_STRING, etc. are used as macros/definitions.
Minimum improvement would be to us more distinctive names (or not fully
uppercase ones at least). Could be much nicer even when the enum would be
converted to an enum class on top
was:the current enumeration uses T_CHAR, T_STRING, etc. as enumeration
values. Those symbol names are generic enough to cause clashes with other
libraries - espe. Therefore, a change to C++11 scoped enums would fix this
potential for clashes on the side of Xerces.
